Chapter 797: Chapter 796 Leng Ran_1 Chapter 797: Chapter 796 Leng Ran_1 “Not necessarily!” Zuo Xinyao shrugged.

“Right!” Huo Kewei suddenly said, “Do you still remember when my grandpa went missing? It happened around the same time as my dad’s incident. There were too many chaotic things happening in the house at that time, so we didn’t have the energy to search for him. Finally, my uncle said he would look into it, and we didn’t interfere after that. Later, when grandpa came back…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zuo Xinyao had already understood.

“You mean, Huo Linong might know about this?”

“No! It must be related to him.” After Huo Kewei finished speaking, he noticed Zuo Xinyao looking at him with a strange expression, and annoyed, he glared back at him, “What are you looking at me like that for?”

“Admiring your intellect for finally matching your looks.”

“Screw off!” After resorting to name-calling, Huo Kewei continued, “Did you contact my uncle? Why didn’t he tell me? What a jerk.”

“Logically speaking, Yuan Xueshan from Qi Li Town doesn’t have much to do with you guys, so it’s normal that he didn’t inform you.”

“What’s normal about that? Where is your conscience?”

Zuo Xinyao’s face turned cold, “Gone! A dog ate it.”

After saying that, he turned to leave. Huo Kewei had offended him and quickly hurried after to appease him. Just as they both stepped out of the gallery, they bumped into Nan Fei who was coming in.

“Auntie?” Huo Kewei looked surprised, “Why are you here?”

Nan Fei had come straight from the military academy. After entrusting Jiang Yang to Wei Qin, she came directly to find Huo Kewei. Thankfully she made it in time, otherwise, it would have been too late.

When Huo Kewei asked this, he immediately realized, “You know?”

“Yes!” Nan Fei nodded. “Can you get in touch with Bei Jiang?”

“I’ll try.” After saying that, he took Nan Fei upstairs to his office. While passing through the lobby on the ground floor, they bumped into Yu Jingyi and her group who were coming out of the modern museum.

Nan Fei faltered, her eyes moving from Yu Jingyi to Shi Xueyun. Their gazes intersected in mid-air. For a moment, she struggled to suppress the hatred, stirring in her heart.

Shi Xueyun.

Her senior sister from her past life, the one that had trampled her down into the dust.

If not for her, she would not have given up painting so resolutely in this life.

“Auntie.”

Huo Kewei saw that Nan Fei wasn’t following and turned back, puzzled.

“I’m coming!” Nan Fei quickly followed, her steps almost frantic. However, her mind was entirely occupied by Huo Beijiang. Everything else could wait.

In the upstairs office, Huo Kewei made several calls in a row, unable to reach anyone. Eventually, he used the military hotline to call Ning Di, but nobody answered. He wasn’t very anxious before, but now he started to get worried too.

Nan Fei anxiously waited on the side, finally giving up, “If you really can’t contact him, forget it. I’ve already arranged for a flight back to the provincial city through my connections. I can leave in the afternoon.” She had tried contacting him before but was unsuccessful.

Since she couldn’t set her mind to ease, she decided to try and find Huo Kewei in the little time she had left before leaving.

It was pouring with rain in the Imperial City night. A black sedan braved the rain, navigating along the winding mountain road, and drove into the hillside villa district. Finally, it stopped in front of a single family villa. A housekeeper-like person rushed out from the villa to hold an umbrella for the person getting out of the car.

Under the black umbrella, the person was completely covered. The housekeeper herself was drenched but didn’t say a word.
